A Question of Dignity

"If this bitch had some dignity she'd resign. She is so deplorable! She gives interviews like she 5 year old, says nothing, and comes off as stupid like we know she is. Something is wrong when
such a pitiful human being is awarded so much power. Whats more pitiful are the idiots that vote for her. And yes, they are the  the biggest idiots in the country. Obviously, this libtard elitist has no clue what the word dignity means. If that's not a typo, and she really said that, then she should probably start drug and alcohol testing immediately. The American people should get a 90 day period in which to propose, vote on, and implement some rule changes in Congress. These assholes work for us, and it's about time they were reminded of that."

God bless Nancy Pelosi and her accidental efforts to keep the rest of us entertained while the Republic goes to hell in a union-labled hand basket.  The Congresswoman from the left coast typically doesn’t have much to say, but that doesn’t stop her from saying it anyway, and at copious length.  Why just today, when questioned about the possibility that Congressional pay could be cut as a result of looming fiscal sequestration, she registered her disapproval thus:

I don’t think we should do it; I think we should respect the work we do.  I think it’s necessary for us to have the dignity of the job that we have rewarded.

That she believes it is the dignity of the job that should be rewarded rather than, say, the performance, is quite telling. What’s the going rate on dignity these days, anyway?
 
Investors Business Daily reports that the policies of President Obama, which garner the enthusiastic support of Ms. Pelosi, have bequeathed a growth rate of 0.8%, the weakest in 60 years.  Meanwhile, median family income has dropped by over $4,000 (adjusted for inflation) under the stewardship of dignitaries such as Rep. Pelosi, Sen. Reid, and President Obama.  The price of their virtue notwithstanding, the ultimate issue is the dignity of We The People, for when enough of our countrymen sell their virtue to feed on the labor and earnings of others, the pay of a congressman is really of very little comparative importance.  But, as Mark Twain observed, “All Congresses and Parliaments have a kindly feeling for idiots, and a compassion for them, on account of personal experience and heredity.
